Considering the source of oil shocks, this study aims to investigate the effect of oil price shocks on the key macroeconomic variables of the OPEC countries. Even though oil shocks are originated by various factors, political risks are of great importance. Using structural vector-autoregressive model, we disentangled oil shocks and studied their impacts on OPEC’s GDP growth and inflation, using a Panel-VAR for 1994:1-2016:4. Our results highlight that among oil shocks, the oil price shocks stemming from the political risk of OPEC countries have the most significant impact on the OPEC's economic growth, while not having any significant impact on inflation of the countries. We also learned that oil supply shocks could also boost economic growth and increase inflation rates in OPEC countries, although these increases are not significant. Other oil price shocks will only lead to higher inflation in these countries without affecting OPEC's economic growth.

In this paper, the Panel SVAR model has been utilized on monthly data (2006-2018) to study and compare the direct and indirect effects of oil shocks on real price changes of selected agricultural products in oil exporting and importing countries. The results show that oil shocks, besides direct effect, indirectly affect the prices through aggregate demand, currency and monetary shocks. The response of selected products to different types of shocks in two panels, depends on their degree of substitution to fossil fuels. As the soybeans and to some extent corn price changes, which are most used in the production of biofuels, vary by direction and pattern in two panels, while the price dynamics of wheat is similar. The share of currency shocks and interest rates in explaining price changes in importing countries is higher than the exporting countries, which the main cause can be traced to the more developed financial markets in importing ones. Also, the difference in price response to idiosyncratic and common currency shock in two panels indicates the necessity to study the behavior of each panel member separately. Therefore, a separate model for Iranian economy was also estimated for the purpose of more precise conclusions and policy proposals.

Abstract
Oil revenues make up the major part of revenues of the oil exporting countries. So, the fluctuation of oil price is very important for these countries. This study investigates the asymmetric effects of oil shocks on output in Iran over the period of 1369:1-1386:6 using the Markov switching approach. ...

Oil revenues make up the major part of revenues of the oil exporting countries. So, the fluctuation of oil price is very important for these countries. This study investigates the asymmetric effects of oil shocks on output in Iran over the period of 1369:1-1386:6 using the Markov switching approach. The results suggest that the effects of oil shocks on output are separable into two regimes. In addition, the results also show that the effect of oil shocks over the recessions is significantly higher than that over the booms. In other words, the impacts of oil shocks on output in the Iranian economy over the booms and recessions are asymmetric.
